Friday Premiere: Voice von Heute

Hallo Leute and welcome to our Deutscher Jam. This show should serve as a connecting ground to showcase and play current and classic German Artists here in Richmond. We are going to be pulling away from the stereotypes and stigmas one may think when picturing modern day Germany through sound and music. The shows mission is to pull individuals away from viewing Germans as the stereotypical picture of solely drinking beer, eating sausage, wearing lederhosen, and the population only consisting of one race. It’s time to give German a facelift and showcase its talent and culture through a youthful lens.

Feminine Energy

Ladies! Where is the representation? Why is it that there are so man y dope female artists but not enough airplay? Why is it that on some Stations they only require a minimum of two female artists played? Lastly why on one of the largest independent Radios in Berlin RBB the Radio hosts only get the opportunity to showcase there favorites for 20% of the time? Point is we want answers and something needs to change! That’s why I am here as the first woman of color to have established a modern German Radio Show here in America. We all know Def Jam correct? Record labels used to be the gatekeepers of great music. Then that stopped and the flood gates opened to anyone courageous enough to show cases there talent. Deutscher Jam is the gatekeeper of German music. Only the best of the best get airplay on this show. We see a lack of many minority groups in the spotlight but the biggest are women. “They” meaning the male dominated industry says the want less, but I say we want more. Women speak that truth! The LGBTQAI+ community speaks that truth! Deutscher Jam is opening the door tonight and is goi9ng to great you with nothing but feminine energy tonight. In pursuits to give women and the LGBTQIA+ community the recognition the deserve Deutscher Jam is the vehicle to amplifies these voices. The hoe_mies in Berlin addressed it first and I am right in line with them

Black Magic: Germany Redesigned

Deutscher JAM is a German Radio Show based in Richmond, Virginia. As a woman of color living in-between the German and English speaking worlds, the lack of proper representation became extremely apparent. Thus by amplifying the voices of German artists, we are able to honor and showcase Germany’s diversity in a proper manner.

“We are going to be pulling away from the stereotypes and stigmas one may think when picturing modern day Germany through sound and music. The shows mission is to pull individuals away from viewing Germans as the stereotypical picture of solely drinking beer, eating sausage, wearing lederhosen, and the population only consisting of one race. Hip-Hop has created a platform for Germans to ignite change and rebrand the face of their society. This current generation of Hip-Hop artists are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” means”

So let’s take in this legendary moment.*Grabs Popcorn* I think this is going to be a good one…….
